Pausing my posting break just long enough to wish you a peaceful, hopeful holiday.

As the year turns, may we lean into what’s life-giving.

Today that means watching the waves — from my window or by the lake, each with its own kind of warmth.

Before the First Ornament Falls
Wonder pauses the room the moment it learns what light looks like.

A small child stands close to a brightly lit Christmas tree, positioned on the right side of the scene and facing left, gazing upward with wide, focused eyes. The child wears soft, light-colored pajamas with a gentle printed pattern, the fabric slightly loose and rumpled, suggesting a quiet moment at home. Their posture is upright but cautious, body leaning subtly forward, hands resting near their sides as if resisting the urge to touch. The tree fills the left half of the frame, dense with warm white and multicolored lights that glow softly against the surrounding room. Instead of traditional ornaments, the branches are heavily decorated with plush toys and small character figures in pastel yellows, blues, pinks, and greens, layered thickly from top to bottom. At the base of the tree, a shallow box overflows with additional stuffed animals, spilling outward and crowding the floor with color and soft shapes. The carpet beneath is pale and textured, catching scattered reflections from the lights above. The background recedes gently into soft focus, with hints of furniture and blue-toned walls framing the scene. The atmosphere is intimate and hushed, defined by warmth, proximity, and the suspended moment just before movement, where curiosity holds perfectly still.

#Jan26Challenge Jan 6: Last Echo of Feast — A single ornament forgotten, the final candle burned low.
After the Gathering

#QuietAftermath #HolidayStillness #DomesticCinema #FragileMoments #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares
A quiet interior scene is observed from a low, partially concealed angle, as if viewed from behind a doorway or wall. In the foreground, soft shadow frames the image, narrowing attention toward the center of the room. On a dark wooden floor, a red glass ornament lies shattered, its curved fragments scattered outward in irregular pieces. The broken glass catches faint highlights, producing small points of reflected light. Evergreen branches are strewn loosely around the fragments, their needles dark green and slightly dulled, suggesting they have fallen or been discarded after decoration. Just beyond the debris, a large upholstered bench or ottoman sits in muted beige fabric, its surface smooth and heavy, absorbing light rather than reflecting it. The furniture creates a sense of weight and stillness, anchoring the composition. Above it, a dining table is partially visible, set for a meal that appears finished or abandoned. A white cloth drapes casually over the table’s edge, its fold imperfect, as if left untouched after use. On the tabletop, wine glasses stand mostly empty, their thin stems catching warm candlelight. A small flame glows softly near the center of the table, casting an amber reflection against glass and porcelain. Plates and tableware sit undisturbed, implying a gathering that has already passed. The background wall is dark and cool-toned, contrasting with the warmth of the candlelight and the red of the broken ornament. The overall atmosphere is hushed and contemplative. No people are present, yet their absence feels recent. The scene conveys the emotional residue of a celebration, where beauty, carelessness, and quiet aftermath coexist in a single, unmoving moment.

#TsukkiChristmas Dec 24: Santa
A Quiet Delivery
Snow gathers on patience while something small and living is carried forward.

The image shows a softly rendered watercolor-style illustration set against a pale, lightly textured background. Centered in the frame is an elderly man standing upright, facing forward. He has a full, fluffy white beard that spreads across his chest and round glasses perched on his nose, giving his wide eyes a gentle, attentive expression. His hair is short, white, and slightly unruly, sticking out in fine strands. He wears a long blue winter coat buttoned to the neck, dusted with falling snow. His stance is steady and calm, with one hand tucked into a pocket while the other cradles a small potted plant. The plant is delicate and green, spilling softly over the rim of a simple square pot, suggesting care and quiet intention rather than spectacle. Slung over his shoulder is a large red sack, partially visible behind him, its fabric textured and curved as if heavy with unseen contents. Snowflakes drift lightly across the scene, scattered in small dots and splashes that add motion without clutter. The overall atmosphere feels gentle and contemplative, emphasizing kindness, simplicity, and the quiet labor of carrying something alive through the cold.
